Hi, hunters! Hope you are having a good work week :) I'd love to know which are your favourite tools for working at home. Also, if you have a related product, tell us what is it about and maybe it'll become part of our routine!

Hey, Martina! I work remotely as a copywriter for an e-commerce brand. Our daily drivers are Slack and Asana (switched from Trello). Couldn't live without those for sure! And, well, email, haha. It's funny you made this discussion today, though, since I've just launched Setup Scout. It can help you build your remote workspace, which can greatly improve your productivity and even health!

@st__matt Hi, Mantas! It's good to know you just launched, congrats! I'll give Setup Scout a try :) Also,, I find Asana and Slack very useful as well

If you want a platform that's a little more fun than Zoom for virtual connections, we've been using Topia (https://topia.io/), which is a solidly better way to connect for a meeting.

@alexshebar we've loved the energy you've brought into https://topia.io/producthunt and are excited for the next hybrid event! It's a virtual clubhouse made to be magical by the PH community.

I wouldn't normally have an iPad in an office, but because I work from home I sometimes like to draw things out and airdrop it to my computer. It can really speed up communicating an idea when I have a sketch. Alternatively, I have been enjoying FigJam by Figma

@product_at_producthunt -- I find myself using the sidecar feature on Mac+iPad only coz I'm home. Especially helpful when I'm presenting a deck to lookup/write notes.
Martina Hackbartt
@product_at_producthunt Hi Michael! FigJam seems like a very good tool to quickly connect ideas. Thank you very much for sharing! I'll try it out soon

Working on an international, fully remote team the biggest thing is dates & timezones. Here are my must-have tools for staying ontop of my meetings & deadlines. · Fantastical 3.0 · SavvyCal · MeetingBar 3.0 Other fun tools I use daily · Stats · MintClock · Battery Buddy · Mumu X · Poolsuite™

@gabe__perez Wow! Many new tools to try out. Thank you for sharing!

Early 0-to-1 stage startup, 100% remote (will remain so), 3 people -- so Zoom, Google Docs/Sheets, WhatsApp. Our product is kinda designed for new normal: we believe the future of work is going to be heavily individual-centric, as opposed to it being company-centric. And so, Yuga is an employee engagement SaaS where employees plan their long-term career using LinkedIn for login (vs enterprise) and managers work alongside on Yuga to see how the company fits in, for proactive retention. There's also a module for mentor engagement and a Brag/Work journal to track those wins you'd normally lose track of usually. We're at yugahq.com.

@kirank5a Hi, Kiran! I'll most definitely try Yuga out, it sounds very interesting indeed.

And if you want to switch to a new company, I do recommend my website https://remotefront.io for everyone. It saves you hours of job hunting and sends you related jobs to you 2 times a week so you can enjoy your free time learning new stuff. You would be applying to jobs that are directly sent via email.
Martina Hackbartt
@sandeep_acharya Hi Sandeep! Sounds like a great idea! I'll definitely keep your website handy for the future

@martina_hackbartt You would be amazed to know that remotefront.io is able to curate and post 3321 remote jobs in last 45 days. There are so many remote openings everyday.

Hey Martina! Slack, Notion, and Asana are for sure the to-go ones. Recently I have been using Macro which makes my Zoom meetings more colorful and fun :)
Martina Hackbartt
@5harath Hi, Sharath! Such a good combo, I use all those 3 as well. Haven't tried Macro but definitely will. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Martina, Hope you are having a good week too :) Here is my list of tools used for remote work on a daily basis: - I check my email and then assignments in the ticketing tool (we use our tool UseResponse -https://www.producthunt.com/post...) - For online meetings we use Whereby and Zoom - For instant team communications we use Telegram - Teamviewer for screensharing - Plus shared documents in Google Docs/Sheets
Martina Hackbartt
@kuzmanna Hi Anna! A very complete list, I'll check everything out. Thank you for sharing!

Slack, Zoom, Gmail. The usual. :) And, Condorsay. Since you kindly asked, our tool Condorsay (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) is aimed at helping a team frame and make decisions asynchronously and independently. (They come together at the end, once they've evaluated the options.) So we consider Condorsay to be very supportive of remote work. We posted on product hunt today. Take a look if you feel moved.
Martina Hackbartt
@dfrankow Hi, Dan! I'm looking forward to try Condorsay out with my team; seems like a veeery useful tool. Congrats on the launch!
